"HURRY! Grab my camera, quick!" "WAIT! No, don't touch my camera!"
What was I thinking? Hey there almost 3 year old....will you run in the house and grab my real darn fancy camera and change the lens to the zoom?
The excitement of seeing 800,015 birds in my yard had me a little loopy for a moment.
So, I realized I was the only one capable of grabbing my camera....and by time I got back outside...the bird that I wanted a picture of was gone.
Instead I got a real nice blurry picture of a Goldfinch eating a bug. Horrid lighting and could the picture BE any blurrier?
And Mr. Robin. Hopefully a sign of Spring.I LOVE cold weather. Mainly because I love the clothes....but, I must admit. I am ready for warmer days.
Think it's because of the kid. And the dog.
Walks aren't fun when it is 30. And the slide isn't great when its 42.
So...I welcome warmer days with open arms.
Maybe one day that Cedar Waxwing will come back so I can take it's picture.
Maybe my kid will be quicker on her feet and learn how to get my camera, change lenses, and charge the battery.
That's why you have kids....right? To get stuff for you?
"Hey! Will you bring me the remote?"
"Thanks."
not sure...but i think your goldfinch might

check it out.....thanks, mrs.bird brain
hey, i wrote an article on bird counts not too long ago. they actually mentioned pine siskins. something about we've gotten more of those because of environmental changes, thereby feeding habit changes (did that make sense?)
ReplyDeleteanyway, that you, mandy, would know this stuff...
a bird's a bird's a bird with me. so i think it's pretty impressive, both of you, that yall can take pictures of these things and identify them.... ms. short, any photo i would've taken would've been much, much blurrier. i doubt i would've even gotten the picture.
i'm rambling. imma shut up now.
